Usually there are two entries for this in the documentation, one for 4.X and another for 5.X systems.
On 5.3, see 'man MAKEDEV' and 'man devfs', and find out that MAKEDEV is deprecated by devfs.
Ah, I guess this is a place where the documentation hasn't yet been updated. I didn't think to check the manpage until just after I sent my message.
FWIW, as a layman/FreeBSD newbie, I'd make a suggestion that the manpage for MAKEDEV make it a bit more clear that having 'devfs' means that MAKEDEV commands are no longer necessary because devfs will take care of it automatically.
I found myself trying to read 'man devfs' to figure out a way to manually make cuaa0.
